[edit] Marking out.

Geez, what some fans did to him (throwing eggs, setting his car on fire, and whatnot) is what you would call "marking out to the full extent".

[edit] Blassie?

I heard when the WWE was pushing his book that his name was Blassic, not Blassie or Blassman. However, it might hve just been the poor quality of the sound in the commercial, so I don't want to change it until someone can confirm this.

[edit] Manager

This is the first wrestling manager's article I've come across where there is no list of wrestlers he has managed. It doesn't even mention that he was a manager. What gives? The list would include the Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff and Hulk Hogan.

[edit] Late WWF

He appeared at the 2000 Rumble to judge the swimsuit competition and then again in 2001 to inspire the troops against the Invasion. Is this notable enough to put in?Tony2Times (talk) 01:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music Career

The sound recording "Blassie, King of Men" has four performance, not the two listed: The song "Blassie, King of Men", the song "Pencil Neck Geek", both written for Blassie, a cover of the Jerry Reed song "U.S. Male", otherwise made famous by Elvis Presley, and a spoken-word piece called "No Doubt About It". koti.mbnet.fi/wdd/johnnylegend.htm covers the "Fred Blassie" record release details.

[edit] Death
